FINAL PROJECT TITLE: “Design and control cane level in chute using fuzzy controller in Fincha Sugar

Abstract

In sugar factor process control, cane level control is one of the most basic aspects. By using fuzzy logic, designer can realize lower development cost, superior feature and better end product. In this project, level of cane in chute is control by using fuzzy logic concept. Due to the non-linearity in the input parameters a fuzzy based controller proved to be more effective. This project Deals with the integration of the developed fuzzy inference system with the Simulink model of dc cane carrier motor for maintaining the cane level during the crushing of cane in a sugar mill for optimum cane juice extraction for this purpose, a simulation system of fuzzy logic controller for cane level control is designed using simulation packages of MATLAB software such as Fuzzy Logic Toolbox and Simulink. The designed fuzzy logic controller first takes information about inflow and outflow of cane in chute than maintain the level of cane in chute by controlling its output speed of cane carrier motor. is designed on five rules using two-input and one-output parameters. At the end, simulation results of fuzzy logic-based controller it shows that fuzzy logic controller has better stability, fast response and small overshoot.
